Abstract

Pabuaran Subdistrict, Sukabumi Regency has 3.594 Ha of rainfed paddy fields, with a 5.78 Tons/Ha productivity. The rainy season starts in October, and the dry season is in June. The El Nino event impacts delaying the rainy season to November and accelerating the dry season to May. Using pumps to uptake and supply river water can only increase crop productivity to 6.3 Tons/Ha and maintain a cropping index of up to 200% due to the increasing production costs of using fossil fuels. Through assistance provided by researchers, and pest observers, farmers then built waterwheels to uptake river water and distribute it to the paddy field. Thus, farmers can increase the cropping index by up to 300%, increase productivity by up to 6.8 tons/ha, apply environmentally friendly innovation, reduce production costs by up to 3.28 million Rupiahs.ha-1.season-1, or increase profits by up to 106.8%.yr-1 compared to using the pump.
